Robert W. Chambers's cult classic work of weird fiction and supernatural horror is now repackaged with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator Malika Favre. First published in 1895, this collection of short stories by Robert W. Chambers is widely regarded as a foundational text of macabre literature. The King in Yellow was a bestseller in its day, and was later praised by horror emeritus H.P. Lovecraft. Its ten stories include "The Yellow Sign," considered by many critics to be one of the greatest tales of horror in the English language.
Robert William Chambers (1865–1933) studied art at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Academie Julian in Paris, and sold illustrations to Life, Truth, Vogue, and other popular magazines before becoming a writer. He earned lasting literary renown with The King in Yellow, an influential collection of short fiction regarded as a landmark of macabre literature. Chambers published more than seventy novels and short story collections and was one of the most successful American fiction writers of his day.
